The TO factor dominates this game for sure:
1. The Eagles team and the crowd will simply overwhelm TO with their hatred of him. Some guys "rise above" this kind of emotional negativity. TO is NOT a "rise above it" kinda guy. It will totally affect him.
2. TO is NOT a "suffer in silence" kinda guy either. If it effects him, he'll MAKE SURE that it effects everybody around him too. "Misery loves company" they say and TO is pure "misery."
3. The Eagles and their fans want this game more than they want the Superbowl. The Cowboys are NOT the Pats or the Colts, this will be MUCH easier than the Superbowl.
4. And yes, McNabb IS better than Bledsoe at this point. (Bledsoe is ONLY half decent when NOTHING goes wrong, you can just bet the farm that in THIS game, plenty is going to "go wrong.")
Eagles - 45, Cowboys - 23.

Dallas. The Eagles have a wounded Westbrook, 2 injuried WR, TE Smith is hurt as well and they have a hurt defensive backs. They will lose big to the Cowboys Wideouts. I think Glenn will have a nice game due to the tripple coverage on Owens then before its over Owens will have a 70 yarder. Bledsoe is doing fine and Jones is coming off a nice game. I like the Eagles here but the Cowboys will win.

Cowboys. B/c the Eagles havent played a defense any better than 26th statistically, thats 4 of the leagues worst 6 defenses. Wins coming against the Texans, 49ers, and Packers. They are all absolutely HORRIBLE. Also accounting for the biggest blowup of the year and the Giants are thanking them for their only victory. Eagles havent played anyone worth mentioning yet especially defensively, Dallas is in the top 8 in defense statistically so far, much diff. Dallas also has the second best scoring offense in the league (so far) and have one of the top rushing attacks in the league. Plus, TO/Glenn/Witten/Fasano are one of the best receiving corps in the game right now.
Side note: if Stallworth/Westbrook do not play this game will be won by the Cowboys by double digits.
Assuming Westbrook and Stallworth will play I say:
Cowboys - 26
Eagles - 20

Dallas Cowboys the reason is better O better D better special teams and coaching. They're better in all areas. Plus the intangible of Philadelphia being over hyped because thay are playing against T.O. The Eagles have a tender psyche.

Dallas Cowboys will win. The eagles have not played anybody good. Dallas well show them what a real NFC champion looks like. Dante Stallworth is out this Sunday and there defense is not the same without Kearse. Dallas by 7.

If the Eagles decide to focus on TO, the Cowboys will just air it out to Terry Glenn. Plus their defense is way too good for the Eagles. The home field advantage will help Philly, but not enough. Cowboys will win by at least 7.

The Eagles will win on Sunday!! They are the better team and they have a lot more to play for. The Eagles have a #1 ranked offense. They have home field advantage. (The noise level is going to make Parcels head spin.) We are #1 in the NFC East once again and we're not going to give that up to anyone... especially to T.O. and the Cowgirls! Bring it on Dallas!!!
GO EAGLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The eagles because they have a better overall team.

Philly takes it. With them being at home, and T.O. being back for his first game since he was benched the boys in Green will be totally focused on kicking his butt. Plus as stated in an earlier answer, the eagles have the better QB.
